Shearing Award Fixes Rates Across States in Western Australia
In Perth, Justice Powers of the Federal Arbitration Court set a uniform shearers payable rate using the Statistician’s last quarter figures plus 3 shillings weekly. The award preserves the existing 30 towns basis for shearers and shed hands and the 24 towns basis for station hands, with Tasmania and Western Australia excluded from new state-specific adjustments. The document lists detailed minimum rates for various sheep categories, crutching, wigging, and wool pressing, plus station hand wages and cook allowances, valid until mid-1927 with hours-specific terms. A warning to sheep owners and local transgressions are noted, along with unrelated local stories.
